Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Although she was sick, she tried to stay by her side somehow, along with Elonzo, who always barked at her. But now I can’t even do that. Angels still haven’t come. Please, I have to beg you to rescue that child. no one listens The last scream of my silent soul… Not the cry that child squeezed out of her heart… Then came the harsh sound of horses hooves. The rattling sound grew louder and louder.

The lanterns hanging from the carriage dyed it bright yellow to light the carriage’s way. It was obviously a heavy shape that was the exclusive carriage of a great nobleman, and even the sound of the fierce whipping was loud as if it were condescending. It was a warning that if you don’t want to get hurt or die on the side of the road, avoid it quickly. If your body, which has been soaked in the cold, can’t move quickly, you’ll be in big trouble, so get up and escape.

Delphine, come!

Impatiently, I circled around her and cried out, but no sound reached me. Delphine, who was still tear- stained and trembling all over, wanted to finally raise her head… but for some reason, she stared straight ahead at the carriage lights that filled her eyes… I didn’t avoid the carriage as it was. 

Neigh! The legs of the frightened horses, the whips that hit the frightened horses entangled.

The howls of the beasts with nothing but guilt cut through the air of the deep, black night. Among them, Delphine, a round, thin, fragile girl. 

Ah ah my Delphine.

 For nine years, that weary and pitiful life had been shattered into pieces. She didn’t want to be separated from me forever. 

***

It was cruel and devastating. I endured all of that. Even if my family fell into a grievous false accusation and lost everything in a whirlwind of bloody unfair stories… My little Delphine, whom I wanted to protect by enduring somehow. Instead of resting my soul, I couldn’t even cry out to you to take responsibility for the child’s comfort. I witnessed that miserable moment and couldn’t do anything

I was deprived of everything a long time ago. My family, home, position, status…….. And the only person I ever loved. As a result, my daughter was not born into the noblest class in this empire, and as soon as she was born, she was crushed by the wheel of the poor fate. And at the end of her death, the only blood relative left behind, Delphine, became a beggar, was left to wander as an abandoned orphan, but I couldn’t properly embrace and protect her.
